"LAKES

A. For Trout-Stocked Lakes, Reservoirs and Ponds in PP2 that are named under “Alberta’s Fish Stocking Program.”
Open all year – Trout limit 5; bait allowed.
All other game fish species limit 0."
The Fisheries Roundtable amended the Unwanted Introductions of Perch into Stocked Trout Lakes in Alberta in 2009.

Amendments (in response to issues over opportunity to harvest perch where they are available for harvest and are not wanted in the lake).

For those stocked trout lakes that already contain unwanted perch (as of 2009 and listed in table attached), perch harvests will be allowed (provincial daily limit of 15 perch unless otherwise identified) until such time as a lake management plan is developed.

There are options to provide angling opportunity for perch in the strategy in situations of low environmental risk, where perch harvests will be used as a tool to attempt to control or remove perch so they don’t jeopardise the trout fishery.
The Roundtable has even forwarded a request for $1.00 from each fishing licence to go towards the Perch problem. See the link.


People fishing Enchant should speak up to their local fish bio, get the pond on the list.
